In which way will they make it different from the Meta headsets? The Apple branding won't be enough to turn an average headset into a successful product. My guess would be that their headset is just a set of goggles that requires an iPhone for computation. Then, they can sell them for $300 or even $150. The article suggests that VR is a tool for long-distance relationships. For $300, that could become possible.

Apple sells WHEELS for a Mac Pro for $700! You think that same Apple will sell, what may be a totally new revolutionary product of less than half the cost of WHEELS? Try again.

  > Apple sells WHEELS for a Mac Pro for $700 Not many of them though. AirPods are 200-300 and an absolute cash cow, and probably system sellers for Mac and iPhone.

    AirPods are not as complex as virtual reality goggles. It’s like comparing apples to VR goggles.

      Sure. I don’t agree with OP that they can be sold at 300. Something that does less for cheaper might be an easier sell though then more for more.
